Lezyne V 11 multi-tool


SO GOOD
The V 11 is the slimmest and lightest tool on test, at only 107g. It comes in a neat case and has a solid, well-made feel despite its size. Our experience with Lezyne tools tells us they’ll withstand years of abuse too.

The chain tool is very effective and easy to use. The chrome vanadium tool bits include Allen keys from 2mm to 8mm,T25 and T30 Torx keys, and a flat-head screwdriver.

NO GOOD
The 2mm and 2.5mm Allen keys are right-angled rather than straight, which can make them extremely fiddly to use. The V 11 is the priciest offering here despite having the fewest tools.

Price 42$

Alpinestars Stratus gloves

The Stratus gloves from Alpinestars offer a decent amount of protection from the cold and wet without compromising control at the bars.

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.

THEY AREN’T CHEAP, but these well made and feature packed shorts are the epitome of classic mountainbike-specific functionality, and on the bike they don’t disappoint.
